A Laboratory Investigation of Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with used Concrete in Mix Design
Abstract
The use of demolition waste as a resource for recycling or recovery is gaining grounds in many countries. Recycled aggregates are obtained from old demolished construction waste. The solution is to use these as a replacement for natural aggregates in concrete mixes. This has the potential to significantly reduce the need for mining new aggregates and at the same time reduce disposing costs. A far-reaching writing literature is completed for better comprehension of mechanical properties of cement containing reused Concrete aggregate. When the Coarse aggregate is replaced with 50% demolished aggregate gives the optimum compressive strength.
